New LDS.org

I came across this site today. It looks like the Church is planning a major overhaul of it’s sites over the next year. This is exciting to me. I have noticed some growing pains on the church website. It seemed with tons of new content they often did not have a good place to put it. Hopefully this redesign will solve the problems.

Noteable from the What’s New document:

  • Higher quality audio files and and streaming mp3 instead of wma
  • A-Z index
  • Upgrade to General Conference section in the fall
  • Major overhaul of the Gospel Library with improved advanced search and new (hopefully human readable) urls
  • Experimenting with podcasts
  • More use of RSS feeds
  • User sign in system with access to Church Directory, Handbooks, Letters from headquarters, forms, etc.
  • Downloadable videos that can be burned onto DVD
